Application tiled May 26, 1858. Serial No. 275,144. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY C. SEIP, of the city of St. Louis, in the State of Missouri, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Ohildrens Carriages, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specitication, and in Which- Figure I is a perspective View showing the basket of a carriage with my invention applied. Fig. II is a perspective view illustrating my invention. Fig. III is an inverted perspective View looking at the inner face of one of the side pieces of the upholstering. Fig. IV is a horizontal section.

My improvement relates to the removable upholstering and thebox in which the upho1- stering is supported;'and my invention consists in features of novelty hereinafter fully described, and pointed out in the claims.

Referring to the drawings, l represents the basket of a childs carriage. i/Vithin this basket tits abox having a bottom, 3, sides 4, and a back, 5, this box with its upliolsteringforming the seat of the carriage, and is removable from the basket.

The grooves are shown best in Figs. II and IV and the tongues in Figs. III and IV. The back-piece 7 of the upholstering has tongues 10, fitting in grooves 1I of the back 5 of the i box, forming dovetail connection between these parts.

Vhen itis desired to clean the upholstering, or to use the seat Without it, the upholstering is simply lifted out of the box, (the tongues sliding in the grooves,) and when cleaned can be quickly and easily inserted.

The outer edges of the upholstering are provided with iianges 12, which tit over the edges of the box, (see Figs. II and IIL) covering and hiding the tongues and grooves 8 and 9, and the back-piece 7 of the upholstering is provided With a flange, 13, for the same purpose.

I claim as my inventionl. In a childs carriage, the combination of the basket, removable box fitting in the basket, and upholstering removably secured to the box, substantially as and for the purpose set forth.
